    We were playing shorthanded, I can live with it. Need to send Fortson back to the Defenders and find another warm body to fill in until Lowry is back.

    You are lucky. The Rockets gave up so many rebounds. We were up then the second half spread came out and guess what happened? Rockets did not cover it.

    I wanted to see Camby play.

    I've come to the conclusion I'm not the blind one here. Some of your comments along with a lot of the people and the Scola hate is bordering on Fox News propaganda.

    Tough loss, but expected without 3 starters. I have to say though, the Clippers whines way too much.

    I know it's been said a million times, but Dragic and Lee are keepers. Man I love this team...

    Could've used a PF who can win a jump ball against a 6'1 point guard

    Rockets are going nowhere, Clippers played terrible but we gave in like a bunch of pantsies.

    Dragic - good but failed in the 4th
    Lee - great but didn't seem like he wanted the ball and probably McHale didn't want him to have it.
    Patterson - too little too late and can this guy rebound?
    Scola - huge dissappointment and not even hustling anymore...
    Dalembert - big big big fail. I hope Camby takes his starting position.
    Bud - nice game
    McHale - big fail, big, big big, fail
    Morris - no comment

    Lost by 4 against the Clippers without 3/5 of our starting lineup and only 8 men really on rotation due to trades. That's pretty good.

    I'm still confused as to why the only guy with length and rebounding ability that we have was taken out late in the 4th.

    Yes I know he was in foul trouble but you simply can't take Dalembert out because every other big we have is severely undersized (or lacks jumping ability) and in the end those rebounds killed us.
